On the trail, the most important meal of the day is the one you’re about to eat. Gerber's ComplEAT tool has the bases covered with a fork, spoon, spatula, and 4 function multi-tool that nest for transport as well as snap together to convert into functional tongs. Cook, eat, clean and get back out there.
Length: 7.75"

Spatula [serrated & silicone edge]

Long tine fork
Deep basin spoon
Tongs [fork or spoon + spatula]
Multi-tool components:
Bottle opener
Veggie peeler
Serrated package opener
Can opener
Pros :
Very light weight.
Versatile
The tong functionality is excellent
Spatula is handy even though I have to admit that I have only used it once and it was to simply use it. Other wise I tend to use the spoon or the fork
Everything with this kit works; from the can opener to the pealer.
Excellent quality
Well thought out
Excellent for a couple when backpacking or for car camping
Cons :
The question for you to consider before buying this is this; do you really need all that this offers you. If yes this is a great kit. If not, then you can get away with less which will be lighter and less expensive.
Can opener is sharp and because of its position there is a possibly of cutting yourself when separating the components. Also, again because of its position and sharpness, it could potentially cut up your gear if proper precautions aren’t taken. Placing a cover over this edge is an easy solution; a range band works perfectly.
The set can only be secured when all of the component are together which means that once you take one item out, it falls a part and you can’t leave any unneeded pieces at home when you don’t need them.
I have had other viewers mention discolorations when these are washed in a dish water; I wash everything the old-fashioned way; by hand and I can’t comment on that. No issues so far.
Also, with the colored version I have heard that the color can be scratched off; again I have no experience with that but I’m mentioning it for the sake of awareness.

Summary :
As with all of my videos, it is not my place to tell you what to buy but rather pass on my thoughts concerning the products which I review. With the ComplEAT I have been using this for months now and I must say thank you to a viewer who sent this in to me very kindly; thank you very much.
I have used this product in just about every capacity; backpacking, car camping, bushcraft and I like it! It’s not perfect mind you and I would encourage anyone who is potentially interested in this to consider all of the uses and whether this is a good fit for them. If you are someone who heats up meals on the trail, I would say skip it and go with a long handled titanium spoon/spork.
If you are someone who does a lot of cooking and may use all of the features, you should consider it; it’s smartly designed, well made and make sure that you do not pay over $30 for this. At one time there was a seller on Amazon charging $100. I personally saw one seller charging over $50 at the time of filming.
